Review of 'Binti' on 'Goodreads'

I thoroughly enjoyed Binti. Obviously a quick read, as a novella, it moves quickly to introduce us to a vast universe. As it does so, things never feel rushed. The story is engaging from the very first paragraphs. I want more and look forward to moving to the other books in the series. Okorafor has given us an excellent example of Africanfuturism and I want more. This aesthetic, this take on technology and culture, is obviously significantly different from the typical Western takes on science fiction and I would love to see more and more like it.
